SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Arsenic Removal Technologies Pros And Cons

Arsenic removal is theoretically simple but small community water systems often struggle to find the right solution. This article compares three prominent arsenic removal technologies.

Ensuring Chemical Compatibility In Water Treatment Equipment

This article will explain when and why chemical compatibility matters in water treatment applications, factors that can influence compatibility, and how to determine compatibility in certain cases.

Sustainability And Safety Considerations For PFAS Removal

PFAS removal cartridges offer several health, safety, and sustainability advantages over bulk media systems.

Lead & Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) Compliance

Discover the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, understand challenges for small communities, and explore the role of digital transformation in managing evolving regulations.

DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION SYSTEMS

Navigating the Flow: Mastering TDH Calculations For Your Rental Pump Needs

Whether you’re tackling temporary dewatering, transferring essential fluids, or managing complex waste and wastewater operations, finding the right rental pump is crucial. But beyond choosing the appropriate horsepower or flow rate, understanding Total Dynamic Head (TDH) is key to ensuring your pumping project runs smoothly and efficiently.

Flow Measurement Of Reservoir Water With A Clamp-On Meter

Discover why clamp-on flow measurement provides a much more reliable and accurate reading compared to other methods. 

Enhancing Municipal Water Storage With Submersible Mixers: A Case Study

Ice accumulation in water tanks poses serious challenges, compromising operations by trapping volumes of water and potentially costing tens of thousands of dollars in infrastructure damage. PAX Mixers are highly effective in preventing ice formation, even in extreme cold conditions. By optimizing water circulation, we can maintain consistent water temperatures within a tank.

Remote Monitoring Of Fresh Water And Sewage

As water and wastewater systems expand, scalable centralized monitoring enables efficient management of distributed assets and meets evolving user demands.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

10 Reasons To Use UV Water Treatment In Low-Flow Wastewater Facilities

While UV treatment can be used to complement traditional chlorine disinfection, many low-flow wastewater facilities are using it as an alternative to chlorine due to its many benefits.

Village Of Johnson Creek WWTF Replaces Biological Treatment System

In this case study, read about a wastewater treatment plant whose system was reaching the end of its useful life, and the solution they chose that allowed for sustainable growth while meeting strict budget requirements.

Biological Nutrient Removal With Advanced Primary Treatment

Learn how advanced primary treatment can increase settled solids without the use of chemical additions, reducing capital and operating costs and ensuring more consistent effluent.

We’ll Take It All: Sewerage, Septage, FOG, And Street Sweepings

Because the WWTP is a heavy energy consumer, the increasing cost of electrical energy helped refocus operations on improving efficiencies and what latent energy could be extracted from the waste stream. In particular, what could be extracted and put to use in the facility itself?

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Optimizing Water Utility Operations Through Data-Driven Insights

Limited visibility into distribution networks can cause issues like undetected leaks and billing inaccuracies. AMI and analytics can provide continuous monitoring for improved anomaly detection and prioritized actions.

Taking An Affordable Approach To Smart Water And IoT Technology

Here are several ways that even smaller utilities can implement affordable technologies to improve visibility into what’s happening in key areas of their systems.

The Dos And Don’ts Of Buying A Portable Push Camera

Purchasing an inspection camera can be one of your most important investments in the drain cleaning industry. Having the right camera in your toolset can boost your efficiency, productivity and ultimately, your profitability.

Why You Should Upgrade Your CMMS/Asset Management System In 2024

The article explores the advantages of upgrading utility asset management software, including improved functionality, user adoption, and cost savings.
